How to Estimate the Monthly Cost of Shift Transport

How can we estimate the monthly cost of shift transport?

Short answer

From headcount, towns, route lengths, runs and working days.

The monthly cost of shift transport follows five things: the number of employees per shift, the towns they come from, the length of each route, the number of runs a day and the working days in the month. Those decide how many vehicles of which type you need and how far they run. Send them to us and we turn them into a quote in the pricing model you prefer.

Key facts: estimating cost

Input 1: Employees per shift
Input 2: Towns and pickup points
Input 3: Route lengths
Input 4: Runs per day (pickups and drops)
Input 5: Working days per month
Output: Vehicles needed, kilometres, and a quote

Can we make a rough estimate ourselves?

For a per-km view, multiply the kilometres per run by the runs per day, the working days and the per-km rate of the vehicle (₹12 sedan, ₹13 Ertiga, ₹18 Innova Crysta). The contract price we quote can differ, since long contracts and many vehicles get better rates.

How do we know how many vehicles?

Group employees by town and shift, then match each group to a vehicle size.

See how many vehicles you need.

Will the contract cost less than the rough sum?

Long contracts and many vehicles get better rates, and a fixed monthly price may suit better than per-km; the quote shows the real figure.
